I've got TWO Aristillus short stories. Kinda wondering if I should set up a Patreon, charge a couple of bucks every time I write a prequel short. https://twitter.com/admrlcrnch/status/1109614295837536256 …

2/ That'd earn me about 4 tenths of a cent per page read. 15 page story? 6 cents. 80 such readers? $4 If it takes me 14 hours? 30 cents / hour. This is the problem I'm trying to SOLVE, not a solution to it. https://twitter.com/jayawram/status/1109619727494598656?s=19 …

3/ Writing 15 short stories at 10-15 hours each to make a 180 p collection in 200 hours, nets me a profit of 70% of $2.99 = $2.10. Selling 200 copies of it = $420 = $2/hr. Which, again, is the null hypothesis / problem to be solved.https://twitter.com/JohnTaloni/status/1109634038505984001?s=19 …

4/ Ugh, patreon. On some random help page, and I see some dude with nail polish applying makeup. Might have to roll my own mini patreon app in Rails to avoid supporting globohomo. https://blog.patreon.com/patreon-integrations-features …

5/ OK, tentative numbers suggest that I could pull $100-200 per short story. That puts me at perhaps $15/hr, which is twice what I've made from my writing career ("career") so far. I'm inclined to do this. Also, thinking about avoiding Patreon bc SJW.https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1109615495521726464 …

6/ Will write my own Patreon clone in Ruby on Rails. ...because doing a thing that doesn't need to be done and which actively costs me money, and then building the tools to do that thing, even when better alternatives exist, is entirely on brand for me.

7/ I HATE writing. I like HAVING created something. I'm trying to minimize the actual out-of-pocket cost of doing so.https://twitter.com/GregM410/status/1109847346672603136 …

Kings used to be able to command people’s heads be removed but there’s been little progress on that front

I would have to say no because I despise Patreon the platform. Accidentally dropping cash on the kitchen table might be another matter.
